So what I am trying to do is pushing notifications to windows 8 application using javascript.
So after checking this website which is the only useful website I found.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh202977(v=vs.105).aspx
I understood the following:
1- You need to develop an app that request push notification service URI which will be then shared with a push client service.
(The code for this app needs nothing as you will simply copy it from the link above)
2- You need to send a notification (raw notification) using a push client service
(here appears the problem :) )
The issue that the code is for .NET files which I am not familiar with. I tried to convert the code from the .NET to HTML and .JS where I am going to send ajax request to the given URI.
However this give me a wired error and unfortunately I couldn't find an example of sending notification using .JS
So here is the original code which basically defines a simple form that will send request to the URI. The only difference between this and my code that I am using JQuery Ajax request to send

<button id="ButtonSendRaw">Sending Data</button> <br />
Response: <input ID="TextBoxResponse" Height="78px" Width="199px" /> <br />
</body>
</html>
The error I am getting from this is:
405 (Method Not Allowed)
Where method is set automatically to OPTIONS, although I am sending a POST request
Any suggestions, thanks in advance :)
